Chapter 57: Mai Fukagawa's worries
Early the next morning, Nana Hashimoto was apprehensive, and took Xiaobai to the company in the agent's commuter car.
In the car, the agent seemed to be surprised by Nana Hashimoto's state today: "Why did Hashimoto-san get up so early today?" Don't get more sleep? ”
Nana Hashimoto cheered up and said to the agent: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I woke up early today, agent San, please take care of me today." Even though it is the customary daily greeting, Nanami Hashimoto still requires herself to be polite and thoughtful.
"Haha, Hashimoto-san, please take care of me today." In the face of a thoughtful girl, no matter who she is, she will not put on an ugly face, and the same is true for the agent who is already very familiar with Nanami Hashimoto, seeing that Nanami Hashimoto's face is not very good, so she said to Nanami Hashimoto with concern: "Hashimoto-san, you better make up for sleep in the car, it's still early today, I'll drive slower on the road, you can also take a break with your eyes closed." ”
Nana Hashimoto looked at her somewhat pale complexion and dark circles in the rearview mirror, shook her head and said, "No, I still have to put on makeup on the road." Besides, I want to arrive at the company a little earlier today, so the agent Sang, as usual, can do the same. ”
Seeing that Nana Hashimoto didn't insist, the agent couldn't, so he had to let Nana Hashimoto not force himself to fall asleep and start putting on makeup. But he still drove the commuter car very steadily, which was convenient for Nana Hashimoto to wear without makeup, and at the same time, it was also able to make her sit as comfortable as possible.
Feeling the carefulness of the agent, while Nana Hashimoto was grateful, he still hoped that he could arrive at the company as soon as possible and see Mai Shiraishi.
After listening to Xiaobai's analysis last night, Nana Hashimoto was shocked to realize that something was wrong with Mai Shiraishi, with Mai Shiraishi's character, even if she really likes Qianye, knowing that she has a relationship with Qianye, she will definitely not make such a request directly to herself. And the "fox tail incarnation method" mentioned by Mai Shiraishi, Nana Hashimoto understood that things were not as simple as Mai Shiraishi said after hearing Xiaobai say that even Qianye didn't dare to split his soul easily, and the damage to his soul was almost difficult to heal.
Nana Hashimoto hazed her makeup, covered up her dark circles with a thick foundation, and showed a barely satisfied smile in the makeup mirror, her face was still full of worry about Mai Shiraishi.

After picking up a few other members, the commuter bus also arrived at Sony Music's headquarters building.
Originally, as members of Nogizaka 46, they almost didn't enjoy the treatment of special car transfers, but it was Sony who stood behind Nogizaka 46.
Akio Morita and Dai Ino, who once led Sony to the top, have passed away, and Nobuyuki Idei has brought Sony from its heyday to decline, but Sony is still Sony. Even now, Sony Music still provides the best treatment in the industry for its little idols. Not to mention the investment of various resources and the training of professional instructors, even the accommodation of the members, Sony Music has invested in the construction of dormitories for them. When the dormitory was not built, Sony Music, which had deep pockets, directly let the members live in the hotel for more than a month, knowing that the dormitory was built, before moving to the dormitory.
Therefore, it makes sense to provide a commuter bus for several members to share.
Although he arrived at the company in the same car, Nana Hashimoto, who was full of worries, did not talk much with several members, and just said a few words of greeting. But fortunately, Nana Hashimoto is also silent in the morning, and the members have long been accustomed to Nana Hashimoto in the morning not having energy, so they are not surprised.
After Nana Hashimoto didn't get out of the car, she put Xiaobai in her arms on the ground and walked directly towards the lounge, and Xiaobai followed her obediently.
After hurrying to the lounge, he saw Mai Shiraishi who was changing clothes, Nanami Hashimoto rushed over quickly, grabbed Mai Shiraishi's hand, and pulled her out of the lounge: "Mai, you come out, I have something to tell you." ”
Mai Shiraishi's arm was crooked by Nana Hashimoto, and she almost fell. Mai Shiraishi, who stumbled below, hurriedly helped the wardrobe on the side, and while stabilizing her body, she also kept up with the footsteps of Nanami Hashimoto.
Mai Shiraishi tugged at the practice clothes on her body and shouted at Nanami Hashimoto, "Nanamin, what are you doing?" I haven't even dressed yet! ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't stop, and although she was in a hurry, she still waited for Mai Shiraishi to put on her clothes.
"Nanamin, what's the matter with you, so urgent?" Mai Shiraishi asked Nanami Hashimoto strangely as she put on her clothes.
At this time, several non-selection members on the side looked at Nanami Hashimoto's unkind face and Mai Shiraishi, who looked disheveled because of Nanami Hashimoto's pulling, and suddenly had a bad association. Although Nana Hashimoto noticed these members, she was obviously not concerned about what these members thought when she was in a bad mood, and when Mai Shiraishi adjusted the clothes on her body, she grabbed Mai Shiraishi's arm and ran towards the bathroom.
At this time, the members in the lounge and the corridor all saw the appearance of Nanami Hashimoto running out of the lounge with the disheveled Mai Shiraishi, and immediately whispered. And Mai Fukagawa, who was watching Nana Hashimoto pull Mai Shiraishi out of the lounge, frowned, thinking of the abnormal relationship between the two recently, Mai Fukagawa suddenly became worried, and couldn't help but stand up and chase after Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi.
And Nana Hashimoto didn't pull Mai Shiraishi to the bathroom, and after pushing open the door of a compartment, she pushed Mai Shiraishi inside, and Xiaobai also jumped on the toilet lid and sat and watched them.
"Nanamin! What are you doing here? Seeing that Nana Hashimoto pushed herself into the cubicle of the bathroom, Mai Shiraishi, who had been bullied, looked a little ugly, but still said to Nanami Hashimoto: "If you brought me out in such a hurry, the other members must have misunderstood." ”
Nana Hashimoto's face was not good, and her tone was extremely serious, she pressed Mai Shiraishi's shoulders with both hands, and stared at Mai Shiraishi seriously: "Mai, tell me honestly, what is the 'fox tail incarnation method' you told me that day?" Do you know how much of a danger such a thing as splitting souls can be? ”
Mai Shiraishi heard Nanami Hashimoto's question, and a trace of panic suddenly appeared on her face, but she still defended herself: "Nanamin, what are you talking about?" Didn't I tell you all that day? 'Fox tail incarnation method' is the unique spell of the nine-tailed demon fox that Sister Yuzao told me, by splitting the fox tail and the soul to create an incarnation, because there is an infusion of flesh and soul, so the incarnation can be exactly the same as itself, it is a secret technique used by the nine-tailed demon fox to resist the curse and death. As long as I follow the method that Sister Tamamo taught me, there will be no problem in splitting the soul! ”
Nanami Hashimoto's eyes were full of scrutiny, Mai Shiraishi's flickering eyes and somewhat flustered tone made Nanami Hashimoto feel deeply suspicious, so she turned her head and asked Xiaobai who was squatting on the toilet seat: "Xiaobai, is Mai telling the truth?" ”
Mai Shiraishi suddenly looked at Xiaobai and Nanami Hashimoto strangely: "Nanamin, what's wrong with you, how can Xiaobai and a fox answer your question?" ”
However, Xiaobai said: "What she said is nine points true and one point false." As for whether she wanted to deceive the host you, or if she herself was deceived by Lord Tamamo, Xiaobai couldn't tell it. ”
Xiao Bai's opening suddenly made Mai Shiraishi's face look ugly, and while she was surprised that Xiao Bai could speak, Mai Shiraishi still defended herself: "Nanamin, don't you still believe me?" Also Why does Xiaobai speak? Is it also a youkai? ”
Nana Hashimoto was about to speak, but Xiaobai jumped on her shoulder, stared at Mai Shiraishi with a pair of eyes, and preemptively spoke in a kabuki tone: "I am a god-style fox, my name is Xiaobai, I have practiced with the master of Abe Harumi, and I have accompanied Lord Qianye to guard Kyoto, and I have practiced for thousands of years, and I will eventually have today." Today, under the orders of Lord Thousand Nights, it is also necessary to protect the host! ”
Xiaobai's strange tone made both Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi a little embarrassed The expressions on their faces, Nanami Hashimoto lowered his head and held back a smile, raised his head to look at Mai Shiraishi with an inexplicable face and explained: "Xiaobai is the Shikigami given to me by Qianya, responsible for protecting me." It used to be the Shikigami of Abe Harumi and Senya, and it has existed for thousands of years. I think it's more credible than the current Mai-like you and Tamamo. ”
Nanami Hashimoto's words suddenly made Mai Shiraishi's face look ugly: "Nanamin, what do you mean by this?" Would you rather believe a fox than me? As Mai Shiraishi's mood changed, her eyes began to change color again.
Just when Nana Hashimoto was not surprised by Mai Shiraishi's demonization and was about to explain, Xiaobai took a step ahead of her, jumped up, and slapped Mai Shiraishi's forehead with her front legs, and a golden footprint flashed on Mai Shiraishi's forehead, and then disappeared, but Mai Shiraishi's demonization was also interrupted by Xiaobai's gentle pat.
With the demonization being interrupted, Mai Shiraishi's emotions also calmed down, and she looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was squatting on Nanami's shoulder, squatting, and looking at her Xiaobai and Nanami Hashimoto, who looked a little puzzled, with a puzzled expression, and asked with some uncertainty: "What happened to me just now?" ”
Nana Hashimoto said with some fear and worry: "Mai, you were demonized again just now." ”
And Xiaobai said to himself with a puzzled face: "It's really strange, with your current state, you can't hide the eyes of Lord Qianye." But it's strange that Senya-sama would let you enter 'here' and see Tamamo. ”
"Xiaobai, what do you mean by that? Is there anything wrong with Mai's current state? Nana Hashimoto looked at Xiaobai worriedly.
Xiao Bai nodded, pointed at Mai Shiraishi with one leg and said, "Even Xiao Bai can see that something is wrong, she is not just demonized, but possessed by a demon spirit." ”
"Demon spirits?" Nana Hashimoto unconsciously raised her voice and exclaimed.
And Nanami Hashimoto's exclamation also made Mai Fukagawa, who was originally worried about Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi outside the bathroom door, and was afraid that the two would quarrel. Mai Fukagawa, who covered her mouth, looked at the door of the bathroom where Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi were, her eyes full of worry.
